Houses and Domestic Space in Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century
Hospitaller Malta is a study concerned with a wide spectrum of
early modern dwellings in Malta, ranging from palazzi and affluent
residences to peasant dwellings, troglodyte houses, and hovels. The
multifaceted approach adopted in this book allows houses and
domestic networks to be studied not only in terms of architecture
and construction materials, but also as places of human habitation
where house dwellers act, react and interact in different contexts
and circumstances. Dwellings are places that permit different
social and economic activities, whilst providing shelter and
security to the household members. Through the available sources,
the houses of Hospitaller Malta are analysed in terms of their
spatial properties and how they generate privacy, interaction and
communication, identity, accessibility, security, visibility,
movement and encounters, and, equally important, how domestic space
relates to gender roles, status, and class. This work, therefore,
seeks to reach a deep and nuanced understanding of domestic space
and how it relates to the islands' history and the development of
their society during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
